This is a unique, comprehensive survey of Bach's works transcribed for Altoguitar (11-string guitar), with complete scores in PDF and TEF formats.

Beside several excellent recordings of Goran Söllscher's Bach on altoguitar, I especially recommend Nigel North's 4-volume Bach on the Lute (Lynn Record). which includes BWV 1001 to 1012. North played it masterfully on a 13-course Baroque lute, with a magnificent tone---one of the best for this instrument.  It inspired me to complete this Edition for altoguitar.
